I've fielded two concerns about playability... the first came in-game, and was that the horizontal arrow from Asuncion gives the impression that it can attack entre rios, not Corrientes. The second is related, but unspecific...

What I've done is extended the coloring over the river to span the river between the two halves of Corrientes, which geographically does span the river (there's just no accounting for real life). I've also turned the arrow a bit to make it clear that Asuncion does, indeed, attack Corrientes.

This map is looking so good! The Corientes river is still a bit of an issue though... I can't remember if you've tried it without the black borders over the river through the territory? That might help make it a bit clearer, and would make the name more visible...

Or you explained it fine, but i read what I wanted to read.

Anyway, tried taking the lines out as well at one point, but it looked unfinished... as is the lines are lighter, hopefully enough to not suggest borders.

also tried, several pages back. The trouble with the bridge is that usually bridges connect two territories on CC maps, which is not he case here. We can do any of these things... I'll play around with it more tonight.

OK, this one I think I like. I've put Corrientes together with the borders spanning the river, left the river the color it should be (no more half-assed shading) and given the river softer banks within the territory.

Why not put up a couple of options for us to choose between, that range from the way it is now, through to no river at all in that territory...

Wehn presented with a couple of options that can be compared alongside one another, I think there's more likely to be consensus of opinion... as it is, I can see that people will quibble over it forever!

"Buenos Ayres" was a common spelling in the 19th Century, especially among the British. In looking over old maps of the era many use this spelling. I have (sadly) changed many other outdated spelling conventions on this map at the insistence of speakers of both English and Portuguese who have stopped by, but I'd like to keep that one in particular because I think it helps place the map in the period.

As for Corrientes, I've spent much time playing with different options, and I'm editing those that I present. Removing the coast line entirely looks bad and I wouldn't be comfortable putting my name on it, so I'd rather not even risk presenting it as an option. Using a bridge would be confusing in my opinion, as bridges usually suggest connections between two territories.

Interesting fact. However what do the British and their spelling have to do with Argentina? It was under Spanish rule before becoming independent or were the British involved at a later stage? Just curious to know more and maybe slightly off topic.

A map has to be told from somebody's point of view... "Bolivian Claim" isn't a Spanish name. I'm a speaker of English making a map - we screw up all kinds of things regardless of the side of the pond in which we live.

Seeing no other comments in the past week I'm going to assume the aforementioned suggested fix to corrientes is good and send new files to Lack. I've lightened the coasts along the corrientes borders, so here's what I'm sending...

Something is wrong with this and I am not sure what happened.S. Ignacio is in Paraguay and I was clearly attacked and my bonus was broken before my turn and yet I received 3 troops for "holding" it. He also didn't receive any spoils. This is in Game 4652457. Ideas?

In the "Triple Alliance" map there are several names of some territories that atract my attention.

Specifics:

Those are: Cordova and Buenos Ayres. I'm not argentinien, I'm from Uruguay (next to it - sorry, my english is not the best). Have you done it like they will write it in that epoca? Because Is not Cordova, it's Cordoba, and Buenos Ayres is Buenos Aires...
